Flamengo and inconsistency are one and the same

The 'Fla' of Rogério Ceni fell 2-1 in their visit to Athletico Paranaense and wasted the opportunity to reach Sao Paulo in the second position of the Brasileirao standings.

El Furacao went ahead with a goal from Abnel, although Gustavo Henrique temporarily calmed the storm. But striker Renato Kayser, with seven minutes left, secured a victory that consolidates Paranaense in the qualification spots for the Copa Sudamericana.

The defeat was not the only problem for Rogério Ceni, as he was involved in an altercation with Gabigol when he decided to replace him with 20 minutes left in the match valid for the 32nd round of the Brazilian championship.

"Gabriel left complaining because he provided many options, but did not receive the balls. And I even showed him that he was right. We really had an opportunity, both with Vitinho and Everton, to give him the ball, but he couldn't receive it. So we opted for a more referential player, Pedro, to protect and wait for the midfielders to arrive," said the coach when asked about what happened with Flamengo's star striker.
